    Quick and Urgent Question

    One of our mobile notebooks caught that virus that keeps restarting itself over and over.

    Repair install wont work so ill just go with the Recovery install off partition. There seems to be no F10 option when booting up

    Whats the magic button? I do not have the manuals or recovery discs with me at the moment

    ALT+F10 or ALT+F11. Make sure D2D is enabled in BIOS.

    Great.

    Well with a combo there is less chance pf performing an accidental recovery. For example my cat just LOVE to walk on my laptop, even managed to restart it a few times :D

    Nice to see you around flip :cool:
